BIG QUESTION:

Why couldnt they have had Andreaphulus as Stolas’s arranged marrige instead of having Stella as the main villain of Helluva Boss? 

He’d be much more of a threat, a cooler design, and in general would be much cooler (get it?) of a villain than just a random nagging woman with a phone that Stolas could kill in an instant. (and his brother if he tried hard enough.)

Stella’s just... generic?

She doesnt do much. She just leaches off of Stolas and yells.

How boring is that? In a world of fantasy cretures and super powers, they just choose a wine aunt to be the main villain of this “demon fantasy show” instead.

I dont care about her screaming at her husband. I dont care about her melodrama. Or any of the melodrama of late season one and season two. 

She’s boring, predictable, and a overall unpleasant and annoying antagonist with no likeable qualities. She’s just a plot tool for Stolitz fans to cry about. She doesnt have anything of value to her, and could have been cut out of the show entirely and it would be 30% better than what we ended up getting.

You’re allowed to have villains be evil and still be enjoyable characters.

Hell! You’re allowed to have a character be rootable and flawed! You dont need for them to be absulotely awful (*cough!* Stolas *cough!* Loona) to be a nuanced character. If Vivziepop wasnt so hyperfocused on demonizing the female characters who dislike the male ones and actually made them well- their characters! Instead of just plot devices to be angry at the male characters 24/7 and instead- being their own person with goals, likes, dislikes, etc rather than for their character to just be “bitch!” and that being about it. “BUT MALE PEOPLE CANT GIVE BIRTH!” And???? This is a fantasy story with demons. It doesnt need to have human-like sexual dymorphism. Hell, you can have Andrephulus be trans-sexual if you want them to have human anatomy. The “arranged marrige for an heir” plot still could have worked (even better!) with a character with an actual ability that matches/competes with Stolas. Instead of a random lady that despite the show acting as if Stolas was helpless and “couldnt” defeat her- he’s shown to have been able to get around her in a few minutes and could have divorced her at any time. Its not like his father needs her anymore (they had a kid already) so she could have been kicked out- right after Via was born!

Stella’s that much of a useless character. She doesnt do anything but sit around and laugh at Stolas all day, or scream on the phone. Its been multiple episodes, thats clearly enough time to show your villain as a actual threat. So why not have had a character like Andreaphulus be the villain instead?

So much potiential. So much lost potiential...

#helluva boss #helluva critical #helluva critique #stella: aka the world's most useless plot device. #also really viv? have your main female antagonist with no powers that hides behind her brother? #isnt that a tad bit gender biased? #why not give her something that makes her an actual threat? #or just Andrephulus? #im so baffled that this is the choice they ended up making for the rest of the story. #its so BOOOORING! COME ON! Im just here to laugh at the writing at point. #some people I know got so turned off by season two- that they stopped watching HB altogether. it's THAT bad of a season that people left. #why cant they just take a hint and actually try to improve? FFS lmao!
